Rangeen

I don't rate series usually but certainly I would like to review and rate this series. As on date the rating is 6.1. I feel this rating is severely underrated. This series is quite interesting and engaging to watch. Acting is brilliant and the story line is good too. Dont fall for the low ratings. Watch it. I am sure you wont regret. I give this series an easy 8.

Rangeen begins life as a daring concept: a mild-mannered journalist, Adarsh (Vineet Kumar Singh), turns gigolo after discovering his wife's affair-with the intention of revenge, personal exploration, and emotional catharsis. Directed by Kopal Naithani and Pranjal Dua, the series tackles themes of ego, identity, desire, and marital fracture with sincere ambition

Vineet Kumar Singh brings legitimacy and depth to a character oscillating between wounded pride and reluctant transformation, while Rajshri Deshpande (as Naina) remains strangely under utilized and side-lined by the writing Among the ensemble, Sheeba Chaddha (Sitara) and Taaruk Raina (Sunny) provide standout background color and energy, grounding what could otherwise feel like aimless indulgence

The writing initially intrigues with its taboo subject handled without melodrama, offering a slow-burning, emotionally textured journey-but over its nine episodes, the pacing stalls What begins fresh and provocative becomes repetitive, directionless, and tonally inconsistent because the series can't decide if it's a comedy, a drama, or a moral inquiry

Pros:

Impressive main performance from Vineet Kumar Singh

Fresh, offbeat premise handled with empathy

Supporting actors (especially Sheeba Chaddha & Taaruk Raina) are engaging and well-written

Cons:

Writing overstays its welcome-losing momentum after the first few episodes

Tone shifts feel abrupt and uneven

Lead characters under-developed, especially Naina,

I highly recommend watching this film. It combines discomfort with a slow-paced, serious comedy. The performances by all the actors are impressive, particularly those of Vineet Kumar and Rajshri D. The way the story unfolds is highly unpredictable, leading to moments that will shock you, make you laugh, and prompt deep reflections on the complexities of human nature and relationships. It explores themes of self-realisation and self-discovery, emphasising the importance of understanding ourselves before we judge others.

Rangeen Review - A Performance-Driven Ride That Loses Its Way

After CA Topper (Netflix) , Rangeen is an attempt by Amazon Prime to explore the gigolo-based drama space. This time, it's fronted by the immensely talented Vineet Kumar Singh, and while the premise shows promise, the execution often strays off-course.

Having followed Vineet since Mukkebaaz, I can confidently say his growth as an actor is impressive - from Jaat to Chavva, and now Rangeen, he brings a raw, understated realism to his characters. As Adarsh, the small-town editor caught in a web of betrayal, he delivers a deeply nuanced, natural performance. His screen presence alone carries much of the series.

Rajshri Deshpande as Naina has her moments, though her portrayal doesn't quite match Vineet's emotional depth throughout. It was also a pleasant surprise to see Smita Bansal back on screen - still gorgeous and with undeniable presence.

Sheeba Chadha, though competent as always, seems to be stuck in a loop of similar roles. Much like Rajesh Sharma, her immense talent is underutilized, and both actors seem to operate within the confines of typecasting here.

The biggest letdown, however, is the screenplay. What begins as a tight, provocative story starts to unravel midway. The inclusion of side plots - the jungle subplot, Manju Bhai's tangent, and the gay character arc - feel more like distractions than meaningful contributions. The narrative loses focus multiple times, making the story feel diluted and stretched thin.

It seems like the creators might be laying groundwork for a second season, but at the cost of the current one's coherence.

Verdict: Rangeen is far from perfect - the plot meanders and the script often fumbles. But Vineet Kumar Singh makes it worth watching. His performance is sincere, grounded, and compelling. If you're a fan of character-driven dramas and don't mind some storytelling bumps, this one deserves a watch.

Rating: 3/5.

Hats off to the brilliant mind behind this series! Even the acting is superb.. You've crafted something truly special-a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud comedy, heartfelt emotion, and irresistible charm. Every episode is a joyride, balancing humor with moments that tug at the heartstrings. The characters feel real, the wit is razor-sharp, and the storytelling keeps us hooked. This isn't just a show; it's an experience-one that leaves us smiling, crying, and eagerly waiting for more. Thank you for creating something so uniquely entertaining and deeply moving. Bravo!👌
